Abstract
The use of synchrotron radiation for small angle scattering is an obvious choice. The radiation emerging from multi-GeV electrons (or positrons) in circular motion is concentrated into a narrow cone of about 10−4-rad aperture about the instantaneous flight direction. This provides optimal conditions for the technique of small-angle scattering and simplifies the design of instruments. Further, the available intensity is, in principle, very large. Do these favorable factors lead to new developments, and what are the results? The answer which I shall try to give to this question is necessarily incomplete, as it is based on somewhat less than one year’s experience with small-angle scattering using synchrotron radiation.
